Abundant water resource but supply lower than benchmark
(120 LPPCD against 135 LPCD)
High percentage of bore well ground water table is
dwindling
Sanitation and Solid Waste Management
No segregation, No recycling, Idea on decentralised
recycling to save transport cost
No treatment of sewerage

Transportation and connectivity

Lack of strong bus infrastructure. Currently, 34 buses
which are almost out of order.
18 parking slots designated, Need to strengthen

 Sanitation
Examples of smart sanitation and
sewerage management

E toilets- across the world, and in many

parts of India now, the issue of public
toilets are being solved through the
initiatives of E toilets; toilets that have
their own waste water and fecal
treatment, come with grievance system
of their own and can be used by
inserting a coin

Global examples indicate a smart

tracking system for waste water flow
and treatment and monitoring of
leakages

Save water bodies

 SWM
Current initiatives of AMC for better SWM

The following initiatives are currently in place by the AMC

on SWM
The Corporation has taken various programs to create
awareness among the local people regarding the significance
of the solid waste management, which includes the following
steps:
Pamphlets distribution
Creating awareness through loudspeakers
Door to door campaign
Media publicity

 Solid Waste Management
Specific Initiatives to be undertaken
Re-engineering dumping Mass awareness and training
Introduction of VMTS and
grounds towards smart waste on SWM using available
smart features
management resources

1 Implementing VTMS in all 6 Redesigning landfill with 9 Awareness campaigns to be

81 wards of Amravati sensors to track amount of conducted for sustainable
waste collected waste segregation at house
2 Special bins for dry and wet hold level through social
waste collection at source media

energy at dumping ground
3 Efficient collection and 10 Regulation and monitoring
recycling of dry waste of household waste
8 Detecting different kind of segregation

Key requirements of having an SPV

Minimum shareholding of state govt. and ULB: 50%,

1 maximum shareholding of private sector: 50%

Ring-fence operations in areas managed by the SPV (revenue

2 proceeds to go under the SPV)

3 Help attract credible private players including financial institutions

Provides Amravati Municipal Corporation the option of equity dilution

4 in future (a ring fenced SPV can become a platform for private investment
under PPP mode in future, can potentially issue bond)

5 Legally compliant structure to follow

27
Key topics to be covered as part of SCP

1. Background (City Profile, Best Practices to Citys context, Review all Policy, Plan, Scheme
documents, Conceptualize how to transform the City into a Smart City & assess
preparedness)

2. SC Vision, Goals and Objectives (connect each goal to strategic recommendations)

3. City Potential & Capabilities (operational efficiencies of the City in terms of project
execution in past 3 years)

4. Proposal Development (Identify the areas where Smart Solution(s) are to be deployed,
define project boundary, disaster resilience built in?, Is the project scalable to the entire city or
to other cities?)

Area development (choose one area for retrofitting or redevelopment or Greenfield)

Pan-city solution (including the technological specifications)

5. Final Citizens Consultations (citizen engagement at multiple levels, revise proposal based
on citizen feedback, contrary voices accommodated)

6. Implementation Framework (including establishment of city level SPVs, convergence with

other plans)

7. Financing Plan & Institutional Arrangements for Post Project Sustenance (O&M and
capex funding, innovative funding schemes, financial assumption, etc.)

8. Project Phasing & Timeframe

9. Benefits & Impact Assessment
